Help to identify part

[A57 HSV]

I've been trawling the web, to try to find a replacement for the broken (lid will not close) hinged lid compartment in the centre console below the stereo unit.
It's the compartment where the Racelogic t/c control switch was sited on the VT model (HSV UK cars).
There is nothing inside it, but I guess it is for an ashtray?
Can't find one, I've searched under ashtray & centre console compartment. Anyone know what it is called or better still a good place to order one from. Can't find one on Rarespares. Thanks.

Cubby hole door?

Dunno, just tried that and got lots of results but haven't yet investigated further.

[uk hsv]

it is listed as a "Storage Compartment"......

the only problem is there are a few colour options! but I think you are after part number 92050753 which is the door assembly in Aztec Charcoal..............



PS. it is a common fault for the small hinge pin to drop out and the door drops on the left side.

If you can find the pin just add a bit of glue to the end and re fit

Very many thanks to you all, hopefully it won't cost a fortune.
Paul, my VT had the slipping pin problem, but I can't see what has bust on this one. Initially it got stuck closed so I gently prised it open, now it won't close!
Annoyingly, I don't use it & doubt that It's been opened & closed more than a dozen times!
It's a very cheap looking part, but heh I would have bought an Audi if I had wanted a quality interior.

Should be the same as the 2004 monaro I would have thought as the interior I think is the same as my VX, which is the same as the VT.

Thanks Jase. Can anyone else confirm this? If it is the case I should be able to get one via the local Monaro dealer. Or would it be cheaper to get one via Aus. anyway?

[uk hsv]

The Monaro one is listed as a different part and comes as a complete unit .....the part number is 92146467. also it is black not grey....

[A57 HSV]

Paul, I think I need the complete unit. Can't work out why it doesn't close.

[A57 HSV]

Paul, Just spoke to Drive Vauxhall. The Monaro part no. is for the whole unit & costs £16.& is in the U.K so next day delivery.
The no. for the Door Assembly couldn't be found.
There is a cogged plastic wheel/drum & I guess there is a catch that locks on to it to hold the door closed. But without taking the box out, I can't see whats wrong.
Have you any idea of the part no. for the complete unit in the correct colour?
Thanks, Tom.

[uk hsv]

the complete unit for a Monaro is 92146467 and only comes in black....

The complete unit for VT/VX is 92105502 (compartment) & 92050753 (door) & 92103515 (latch) in charcoal.....

ps... it is only held in with 2 screws (one each side)

Paul, Can't work out how you remove the one piece trim that surrounds the gear lever & housees the window switches. I've unscrewed the two screws (one either side of the lighter socket) popped out the leather gear gaiter & lifted up the trim piece. But the housing for the window switches stops me from lifting it out & backwards?

[uk hsv]

prize the bit behind the window switches (silver trim) up about 1 inch then it will move back a bit more....to remove it you will need to pull out the plugs under the switches.

Hi, I think I might know the item you are looking for. If your car is a genuine HSV, then the compartment I think you are referring to (small, hinged lid compartment behind gearbox lever and in front of larger console bin) is a HSV specific part fitted into the normal Holdens cup holders - it originally contained a HSV torch, tyre press guage and wheel nut cover removal tool, it also has the cars build no. and logo on the lid. If this is the case, I had mine replaced a year or two ago (on VX Clubsport R8 - i believe this is VX GTS in UK). This part was only available from HSV and they required the cars build and VIN numbers, to confirm the car was a genuine HSV, before the local Holden/HSV dealer was allowed to procure one for me. I know this sounds a bit pedantic, but I don't disagree with HSV's attempts to control HSV specific parts to stop the lookalike attempts (not a big prob in UK, but in Oz...) to depreciate the quality of a superior product. I suggest an email enquiry to HSV may be of help.

[A57 HSV]

Thanks Andrew, Its the hinged box directly under the stereo.
Paul, Thanks for your patience, if I follow your last instruction can I pop the box out?
Unfortunately the VT/VX part no.s are no go from the Vauxhall dealer.
Worried that the Monaro (black) box will not fit as the V/Hall imported Monaro's have VY dashes don't they?
If thats the case I'll get one sent from Aus.

Isn't the Internet grand!
Seems like a common problem.

cool.....

[A57 HSV]

Thanks for all your help Paul. Reckon I'll send off for a couple of $9.80 latches & some dash bulbs from Pomona's contact.(thanks Brian).
Anyone else with VT/VX want a latch?

[comm_SS_V8]

I'd be interested in some globes. My rear demister & heater speed control globes are out.

I've sent you a mail which details how you would remove the dash fascia and how to repair the speed converter board. It's 3.8MB so apologies if you're on dial-up.

[stevemac]

can you send me a copy of the proc as well please as my speedo hasn't worked for a number of years now
